Loretta Lynn was an American country singer and songwriter, born on April 14, 1932 in Butcher Holler, Kentucky. She passed away on October 4, 2022 in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. Widowed from Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn and sister to Crystal Gayle, Jay Lee Webb, and Peggy Sue. Loretta was a mother to Peggy Lynn, Patsy Lynn, Ernest Ray Lynn, and Cissie Lynn. She also had the joy of being a grandmother to Tayla Lynn.

With her distinctive voice and powerful songwriting skills, Loretta became one of the most influential figures in country music history. Her honest lyrics touched the hearts of millions around the world. Loretta's talent earned her numerous accolades throughout her career.

Inspired by artists such as Tammy Wynette, Kitty Wells, and Patsy Cline among others; Loretta's music resonated with fans who appreciated her raw emotion and relatable storytelling. Her contributions to the genre will forever be remembered.

New series that focuses on the great country ladies of the 50s and early 60s, with a superb compilation that brings together the early recordings of two of the genre's more revered artists - Loretta Lynn and Jan Howard.

Loretta and Jan (wife of noted songwriter Harlan Howard) both made their first records in the late 1950s and happily, both are still alive and still occasionally releasing new music in the 21st century.

In this collection you will find the tracks on which both women built their reputations - among them all of Loretta's early sides for the small Zero label, and all of Jan's solo recordings for Challenge and Sundown. The tracks include many early hits by both, including 'I'm A Honky Tonk Girl' and 'Success' from Loretta and 'The One You Slip Around With' and 'Pick Me Up On Your Way Down' from Jan. The style of these tracks and others here is pure unadulterated honky tonk with fiddles, steel guitars and none of the smoothing or sweetening that 'The Nashville Sound' was built around. They sound all the better for it!

Two living legends paid tribute to here in one great collection - remastered, as always, from the finest available sources! - and a shoo-in for a warm response from all who enjoy vintage country music as it's supposed to sound.
